"Amazing food, atmosphere & service by the marina
Had such a lovely evening tonight by the water. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, with amazing views over the marina.

The food was fantastic and we loved trying something completely different — crocodile and kangaroo for the first time! Everything was fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented.

The service really made the evening special. Our waiter was so friendly, welcoming and attentive, honestly couldn’t do enough for us. One of our favourite dining experiences so far in Australia 🇦🇺✨"

Golden hour on Cairns waterfront 😍

“Great seafood, beautiful waterfront setting, and a really relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the Dundee’s Seafood Tower, which was packed with fresh seafood, oysters, prawns, scallops, calamari and barramundi. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented.”
